I've played Ark since the beginning. I setup a private server to learn things without the public destroying everything. It was a smart move.

(On Public) Without a tribe, this game will be a nightmare. And it is unforgiving.

They've done a lot to this game and the graphics are amazing. The additions have been excellent and the dinosaurs and end game are cool. Unique buildings and advanced weapons are a must. You can build a fortress on top of a dinosaur!

When they launch and start new servers you have to be there on the opening to claim your turf or you'll be dead from the bigger tribes. It's a manifest destiny race!
